In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 86 Black Wolf
Cheng Sinian's words came true.
Qiao Yu was indeed "corporally punished".
After being pulled into the small bedroom by Jiang Zhan, Qiao Yu was pushed directly onto the bed and her mouth was gagged.
Feeling the spiritual barrier rapidly condensing around him, Qiao Yu sighed silently in his heart, but still stretched out his arm and placed it on the back of Jiang Zhan's neck.
The temperature in the house gradually rises.
Qiao Yu's blushing face was greedily captured in Jiang Zhan's eyes.
His force was deep and heavy, as if he was venting his anger, but his kiss was so gentle that it seemed as if he was trying to please her.
He knew the content of the conversation between Qiao Yu and Yu Qingchuan, but he still couldn't control himself.
He also noticed that Yu Qingchuan's personality was somewhat similar to his.
Jiang Zhan couldn't help but think, since Qiao Yu could like him for who he is, would she also like Yu Qingchuan who was somewhat similar to him?
"Ayu, tell me you love me..." Jiang Zhan's voice was low but with a hint of begging.
"I, I love... you." Qiao Yu's voice was a little broken, but she still tried hard to respond to him.
She didn't want to make Jiang Zhan sad.
"Ayu...will you belong to me forever?" His tone was full of uncertainty and fragility.
"Yes." Qiao Yu kissed Jiang Zhan's lips firmly, "Qiao Yu will always belong to Jiang Zhan..."
Jiang Zhan's condition seemed to be getting better day by day, but Qiao Yu knew that it was impossible to recover from such serious psychological problems as his.
He believed that she loved him now, but he never believed that she would always love him.
He could only ask for her trust again and again, repeatedly, to confirm her feelings.
But it doesn't matter.
She would respond to him again and again, telling him that she loved him.
--
The next morning, when Qiao Yu got up, as expected, he started drinking fruit juice with his arms and legs shaking.
Qiao Yu deeply suspected that Jiang Zhan had used a torture trick on her last night.
But she had no evidence.
When Qiao Yu finished washing up and came out with a neck full of strawberry marks, Cheng Sinian curled his lips and was about to laugh at Qiao Yu out of habit.
But when he glanced at Luo Zhenzhen beside him, he suddenly remembered the last time in Guojia Village when he was choked speechless by Qiao Yu.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Qiao Yu, wait till I get my fill!
Cheng Sinian complained in his heart, but he decisively chose to shut up and prepare to eat obediently.
The fog outside gradually began to dissipate. When the fog was almost gone, everyone packed up and prepared to continue on their journey.
Although nothing happened last night, it doesn't mean that this dense forest is safe.
There is not a single alien species here, which is enough to prove that this place has an owner.
The convoy moved forward at a constant speed around the mountain along the original path in the forest.
Although the road has been badly damaged, it is still better than driving directly over the mountain.
The car drove for a while, and when it reached a valley, Jiang Zhan frowned and said, "Stop the car."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian immediately stepped on the brakes.
"What's wrong, A-Zhan?" Qiao Yu asked in a low voice, "Is there something ahead?"
Jiang Zhan shook his head, "No, there's something behind it."
"That thing has been following us since last night. It's getting closer."
"It started last night?" Cheng Sinian was stunned. "Then why didn't you tell me earlier, Brother Zhan?"
"They have no intention of attacking us."
Jiang Zhan had a calm expression, and his face clearly said: There is no need.
Less trouble is better than more. Jiang Zhan never likes trouble.
As long as it doesn't hinder the convoy's progress and doesn't hurt them, Jiang Zhan usually doesn't care.
"They?" Cheng Sinian keenly grasped the key words.
"Hmm." Jiang Zhan observed for a while and continued, "Two mental fluctuations. I don't know what they are, but they are getting closer and closer to us. They both have special abilities and are very powerful."
Cheng Sinian scratched his brows and asked, "Then should we wait for them here?"
Qiao Yu glanced at the sky and said, "Okay, let's get off here. It's time to chop wood."
Cheng Sinian nodded, took the walkie-talkie and informed Lin Yingjie, and then the four of them got out of the car together.
While everyone was chopping wood, Qiao Yu and the other three found a clean big rock nearby and sat down.
Jiang Zhan held Qiao Yu in his arms and stretched out a hand to shield her from the sunlight.
Cheng Sinian also put Luo Zhenzhen's face on his shoulder, trying his best to prevent her from being exposed to the sun.
Yu Qingchuan stood beside them and looked back at them from time to time.
Normally when chopping wood, these four people don’t get out of the car. Why did they suddenly get out today?
There was a hint of thought in Yu Qingchuan's eyes.
But because of the look in Jiang Zhan's eyes last night, Yu Qingchuan didn't dare to offend Jiang Zhan again for the time being.
Just observing them silently.
After waiting for a while, Qiao Yu heard Jiang Zhan whisper in her ear: "Here it comes."
Qiao Yu, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen looked in the direction Jiang Zhan was looking up and found that behind four mutant trees crowded together in the distance, the tip of a furry black tail was faintly visible.
The figure hid behind the tree for a long time.
Because the mutant tree was tall and thick, and was blocked by other trees, Qiao Yu and his companions could not see its full appearance at all, and it was not clear what species it was.
But it seems that it really has no intention of attacking them at the moment.
"That seems to be... a mutant beast?" Qiao Yu whispered uncertainly.
The reason why Qiao Yu hesitated was because most mutant beasts were irrational.
Like the alien species, they only crave human flesh and blood, and will pounce on and bite humans without hesitation when they see them.
But this one...why didn't it attack?
Is it possible that even after the apocalypse, there are still animals that haven't mutated?
And even if it is not a mutant beast, or one of the very few mutant beasts that still retains its sanity, then what does it want to do by following them from last night until now?
Are you waiting for the opportunity?
No, didn't Jiang Zhan say there were two? What about the other one?
The four of them were a little confused for a moment.
But they did not dare to let down their guard and continued to sit there, staring at the figure motionlessly.
Seeing that the four of them hadn't moved for a long time, almost like statues, Yu Qingchuan curiously followed their line of sight.
Is that... a mutant beast?
Yu Qingchuan widened his eyes, his muscles tensed up for a moment, and his mind quickly entered a state of preparation for battle.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not right.
Judging from the expressions of Qiao Yu and the other three, they should have noticed it long ago. But why didn't they take any action?
And that mutant beast seemed to be taking no action at all?
Could it be that it knows Qiao Yu and the others?
Jiang Zhan, Qiao Yu and others felt Yu Qingchuan's puzzled gaze, but no one cared, their eyes still fixed on the beast's tail.
Just when Qiao Yu began to think about whether to go straight over, the exposed tip of the tail suddenly moved.
The figure slowly walked out from behind the mutant tree, his eyes facing the direction of Qiao Yu and the other three.
It has shiny black hair, a body over three meters tall, a pair of sharp and deep eyes, and big ears that stand upright.
The moment Qiao Yu looked into its eyes, he could tell that this was a mutated black wolf that still retained its sanity.
When it completely emerged from behind the tree, the four people discovered that its abdomen seemed to be injured and was bleeding.
On its back lay a black wolf that looked similar to it but was much smaller.
